Generally, they are not designed to fit to one another, although some manufacturers make special transition tracks.

For simplicity, you can use EZ track for the station track but to look right the station would have to have platform(s) raised to track level. This is not really a problem as things like that are easily handled with scenic methods.

If you decide to go with ground-level track, you’ll have to make sure the transition between ground level track and the EZ track is smooth and gradual so you don’t run into random decouplings or derailments.

As a personal opinion, I would ballast the track whether or not it is EZ track simply because it will look better.
